My job involves working with oral pathogens.

I'm-a-gonna sit on my hands and avoid teal deering about all the stupid in that thread, okay?

Although comment number 44 is filling me with the rage of epic fail- the reason you don't get sick from every illness you encounter is called your innate and adaptive IMMUNE SYSTEMS, not "Happy thinking keeps the germs away!"

I understand there's power in positive thinking in healing, but it's a bit of a personal peeve because it leads to 'People with mental illnesses don't need medications, they just need happy thoughts.' And to thinking there's no harm what-so-ever in not vaccinating children due to complete lack of understanding of how vaccines work.
